Hong Kong Apartments

One of my lecturers' mentioned something about a video on Hong Kong Apartment in class. I couldn't hear the words clearly but it got me interested (anything related to interior design or jewelry interests me) and since it is related to the topic my group and I are working, I decided to check up on it. I found a video of a certain Hong Kong apartment on Youtube. I'm not sure if it's the one my lecturer mentioned but I watched it anyway. Here is the video:


The video is actually about an apartment space which is about 32 sq m (which is equal to 344 sq ft, it's even smaller than the studio apatments in Singapore). An architect, who had lived in in for 40 years, designed the apartment so that it can morph into 24 different rooms. 24!!! That's like a mansion and he was able to fit all of that into such a small space. Initially it would look an average open studio, but by pulling handles and walls sliding across steel tracks, he can have a mini bar, a 'maximum kitchen', a spa room, a lot things many people can only wish to have in their apartment. And the problem this architect has is too much storage. What people would give to have such a luxury as too much storage.

Although the place looks quite high tech, he stated that it is the opposite, and while he can control everything by using his smartphone, he prefers to do it manually.
